Does anyone know how to make the boot floppies for an IDE CD-ROM in order
to
install SCO Openserver 5 into a Compaq Evo Pentium 4 1900 MHz, 521 MB RAM

I have tried to make the BTLD from the CD but it does not boot from the
floppy.

I had the UNIX on a Compaq Prosignia but I am running out of disk space.
I
only have the CD that came with the Prosignia along with the installation
keys.

Thanks in advance.
